What is good about your occupational therapy course?

Quicktime

"The course, how I found the course. Well I suppose after thinking about, considering OT as an option I looked at the different courses that were available and because I'd already done a three year degree some years ago I didn't really want to do another three year degree. Also just being able to afford to a three year degree again would be really difficult so when I saw that this course was available, two years accelerated. That was one of the big pulls for me and also because it is fairly local to where I live. The stuff they mentioned about self-directed learning was good although I have found in practice it is actually harder than I expected. I think it is common with what other students have found we could have done with a bit more direction but it is quite empowering at the same time. One thing we are beginning to that erm you tend to get all your anxieties out the way when you are studying and hopefully when we actually go into our first jobs we'll be more empowered to find things out for ourselves rather than having to rely on being told what to do. That's one of the the benefits of it."
